Central Valley Dead
I saw many of the 78 shows and caught Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento and Stockton on this particular run. The vibe was definitely strange, the shows very

sparsely attended. It seemed like many of those that did show up were just looking for fun on a Saturday night, it could have been a Styx concert for all that it mattered. Forget which night Phil quipped that it was their mistake to play the same night as the basketball game. Having said that, Jerry did not seem lazy to me, maybe drained is a better word. But he gutted through like a trooper, god bless him. One of the strangest things that ever happened to me on tour occurred at Fresno. Phil actually partied in my room and listened to tapes with us, which was very cool but somebody, somehow, hid out in my room at checkout and stayed the rest of the week, on my credit card! Never trust a prankster, deadheads could be quite sneaky.

Some nice stretches, marred by patches
This show definitely has its high points. Half-Step is one of the most intense I've ever heard, although I'll always consider Landover from later this

year as my number one for that song. Playin' goes into a long, spooky jam, where for once Jerry backs off the all on, all the time sound he had with Wolf in this period. Unfortunately, the spacy part near the end of Playin' is where the audience patches start, and they continue through Passenger to where the sound is alternating between SBD and AUD. Just pick one or the other, OK? There's another audience patch in Estimated. I kind of agree with other reviewers that Jerry's playing is a bit lazy at points, going for the cheap audience-pleasing trills for example at the beginning of his closing solo on Stella, though he settles there into some beautiful playing. Overall it's a good but not great show. I knocked it down a star due to all the audience patches on Playin' > Passenger and Estimated.

A lot of 78 shows were lazy where Garcia was concerned. This is maybe not the laziest, but compare it to 1/10 and 1/11/78. Those are five-star 78 shows.

lazy?
i am listening to the playin>passenger>space and to call this a lazy performance is probably a very bad way to describe this show. on stella blue

jerry's voice is rough but that makes it so heartfelt. i really like this show. it does have some patch problems on passenger but the energy makes up for any recording problems. i think we are so spoiled to have all these recordings here and make issues out minutiae imho

Someone quick, get Jerrry Some Tea!
Poor Jerry, his voice just gives out here and there from what, not really sure, didn't get a chance to ask him! He still does his best pulling some of
...
the vocals off. But at least his heart and soul is still flowing through out his performace. Anyway, the sound, at times gets wierd, and the overall show is quite mellow (not that is is a bad thing). I still enjoyed listening to this show as well as the others in this year. As I have been told, that 77 is one of their better years. I am amazed to find thus far (showing my newb here), how many songs have been repeated in the tour. As for me, I don't think this is a bad thing, as each show seems to render a slightly different version of how they did it before. Overall, I give this show 3 stars.

Wow!
I stumbled upon this planning to listen to Half Step opener, a few hours later and I am writing a review as Jerry drifts into Stella Blue. I like Jerry's
...
vocals (Peggy-o)in the first set and the jamming is good especially closing with LL>SUPPL Second set nice Playin-enjoyed the big jam after Passenger might even call it a mini 78 version of later day Space jam that goes into a way laid back Estimated. In fact this whole show just has a great mellow vibe. Jerry loses his vocal chords during Stella and Donna and Bobby come in for an assist. Luckily that does not stop his guitar, always felt when Garcia hit a roadblock with his vocals he just channeled it into his guitar playing.( That will be the last Garcia tune this night.) They could have called it a night after Prophet and I would still give this show 4/5
